you, talking
Hold a key and talk like yourself — ums, false starts, "no wait, Friday" and all. NatterType turns it into a professional email, a WhatsApp-ready message, or usable notes — wherever your cursor is, entirely on your Mac.
No plugins, no per-app setup. If you can type there, you can natter there.
Built-in dictation hands you the raw transcript — ums, false starts, American spelling and all — and leaves the editing to you. NatterType does the editing before the text lands: the same natter becomes a polished email in Mail, a two-line message in WhatsApp, or actionable bullets in Notes.
Speech is fast but messy; writing needs to be clean. Every other tool makes you choose. NatterType's tone modes do the rewrite on-device, in the register the destination calls for — so what lands is what you'd have written on a good day, at the speed you talk.
Your people, brands and jargon — added in seconds, spelled correctly forever after. It's the difference between a transcript and your writing, and it's why NatterType gets better every day you use it.
Every other dictation tool ships American defaults. NatterType guarantees British English — spellings, dates, currency, idiom. Small feature; enormous relief.
Words dictated, time saved, fillers binned, streaks kept. Computed on your Mac, shown to you, sent to no one — analytics you don't have to feel weird about.
Speech recognition and writing cleanup both run on-device. Aeroplane mode is a supported configuration, not an error state. Not a privacy policy — an architecture.
We'd rather you pick the right tool than just pick ours.

Free gets you raw words with the ums left in, spelled the American way. NatterType hands you the finished email. If your time is worth anything, £39 pays for itself in the first week.
Two ways. Your voice never leaves your Mac — theirs goes to a data centre. And you buy NatterType once — theirs costs more than our entire price every quarter, forever.
Modern local models are excellent, and your personal dictionary makes NatterType better than cloud engines on the words that matter most — the names and jargon only you use.
Only twice, briefly: downloading the speech models on first run, and checking your licence once a fortnight. Dictation itself works in aeroplane mode — on purpose.
Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 13+. One licence covers two Macs.
Fourteen-day refund, no questions, no forms — just reply to your purchase email.
Your next email is three seconds of talking away.
